COMBINED RAZOR BONE AND STROP.

Application filed October 7,

Z '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS C. VINSON, a citizen of the United States, residin at Guthrie, in the county of Logan and btate of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Razor Hones and Strops; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to combined razor hones and strops, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide means for supporting a hone and connecting a strop to the frame of the hone so that the strop or the hone can be used independently whenever desired.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hone having supporting devices at the ends thereof and said supporting devices being connected at one end to a hook or swivel and at the opposite end a strop or strops being connected thereto, so that a razor can be honed or stropped at will, and means being provided whereby the strop may be removed from the bone whenever desired and replaced by others.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined bone and strop, made in accordance with this invention,

Fig. 2 is an edge view of the supporting yoke or frame at the upper end of the hone,

Fig. 3 is a front view of the same,

Fig. 4 is a front view of a portion of the hone and the yoke connected thereto for supporting the strops,

Fig. 5 is an edge view of the same, and

Fig. 6 is a view in elevation of a slightly modified form of the yoke and manner of connecting the strops to the hone.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a hone of any suitable character or type, and connected to one end of the hone is a metal yoke or support 2 having a swivel 3 connected centrally thereto and adapted to engage a hook 4 so that the bone may be reversed if desired. The yoke has pivotally connected thereto, on the inner sides of the arms 5, bars 6, which bars are pivoted as at 7 to the arms 5 and the inner Specification of Letters Patent.

sides of the arms 5 are rovided adjacent their ends with hemispherlcal recesses or depressions. The bars 6 are provided with apertures which aline with the recesses or depressions in the arms 5. The bars 6 having extended through their apertures pins 8. The pins 8 extend through the apertures of the bars 6 into the holes of the side of the hone. The outer ends of the pins 8 are provided with heads, which are adapted to seat in the hemispherical recesses or depressions formed in the inner sides of the arms 5 and thus prevent removal and at the same time hold the hone in alinement with the yoke at right angles thereto.

The outer end of the hone is also pro vided with a similar yoke 9 having arms 10 and the bars 11 pivoted at 12 on the inside of said arms. The arms 10 are provided with recesses in alinement with the heads of the pins 14, said recesses 13 adapted to prevent the pins from withdrawal and also to hold the hone and yoke 9 in alinement.

The strops 15 are provided with a clamp 16, said clamp comprising two members connected to the yoke 9 and provided with oppositely disposed key hole slots 17 to receive a double headed rivet or button 18 secured to the strops 15 and detachably connected to said clamp 16 by moving the head into coincidence with the larger portion of the key hole slot.

As shown in Fig. 6, the oke 19 is formed of wire and is secured by headed fastenings 20 to the hone and a swivel 21 is connected to a loop 20 in the yoke. At the opposite end of the hone is a metal yoke 22 secured to the hone by means of fastenings 23, and the strops 24 are connected to a clamp 25 by means of a bolt 26 and thumb nut 27.

From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that the combined bone and strop of this character, can be used to advantage to either hone or strop of the razor and it can be readily used whenever desired and the strop may be disconnected from the hone or the hone disconnected from the strop so as to permit the ready intentional removal of the hone and substitution of another, and prevent accidental removal and it can be further seen that when strop is disconnected from the hone it may be connected to any other suitable support, such as a nail or the like and used independent of the hone. It

will .alsio be obvious that the strep oain be used either with improved hone or sepa- 'q glms des r be 'li qr es fllthylle made in the deada' ted to have removuhly secured thereto a s't op.

2. A razorhone of the ehal'aeter described comprising a hone, a yoke PiVOtQlly coniier'tetl to each end of the hone, one of said yolges provided with a swivel, bars eonnected to the arms of the yokes, pins extending through the bars and into the hone, sfiid yr'ikeie provided with recesses adapted to engage the heads of said pins to hold the hone within the yokes, and parallel therewith. and the yoke remote from the yoke carry- ,sidesofthe yokes, pins extendi the free ends of the bars and enihel'lded 'in "tiliwhiflee *in' the sides of the hone to hold 'Kgi'fiW vfii'i/ell aflflliptedi-to' hah'esea razor strep connected thereto.
